Cao Xun caught up, hugged her to his lap, pinched her earlobe, and coaxed: "The painting is not good, I'm afraid you will laugh, but there is nothing to show you." ”

Yunzhu tilted his head: "No need to explain, I'm not interested anymore, even if you force me to watch it, I won't watch it." ”

This is still angry, Cao Xun smiled: "If you don't dislike it, I'll draw a single picture for you when you go back." ”

Yunzhu didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Turning another intersection, Cao Xun looked at the little lady with a straight face, and said: "Master Hou is not in good health, if he coughs or has other symptoms, you just don't see it, don't make a fuss." ”

Yunzhu sneered: "I'm afraid that I'll be rude, you can come by yourself in the future, and you don't need to call me again." ”

She's eighteen, not eight, and needs him like this?

Cao Xun just touched her head.

The carriage was narrow, his arms were long, and Yun Zhu couldn't dodge it.

It's good to be angry in private, and when the carriage slowly stopped, Yunzhu naturally showed a bright smile.

Cao Xun saw it and got out of the car with confidence.

Through the curtain he opened, Yunzhu saw two couples who came out together.

The pale but handsome man standing at the front is the Hou Ye Zhang Xingjian.

The Zhang family is not a veteran nobleman in the capital, and he has no friendship with his own family, Zhang Xingjian has been living in a simple place since returning from being wounded on the battlefield, Yunzhu has almost never seen him, and few people around him mention this Hou Ye.

To say that the only connection between the two families is that Zhang Xingjian's son Zhang Hu also reads to the prince as a companion in the East Palace.

It's a pity that Li Xian rarely gossips, even if Yunzhu had the heart to inquire about how his younger brother got along with the prince and his companion, Li Xian was silent and tight-lipped like a bottle.

Zhang Xingjian's wife's surname is Liu, with a single name and a static character, with a beautiful appearance and a very gentle look.

Gu Qinghe and his wife Zhao were guests, standing behind the host's family.

Yunzhu was helped out of the car by Cao Xun, and after standing firmly, she smiled and said to Zhang Xingjian: "Congratulations on the birthday of Lord Hou, we are late." ”

nodded to Liu Jing and the three of them one by one.

Under the moonlight, Zhang Xingjian smiled gently: "Brother and sister are polite, it's just a small birthday, you can come to us is already full of brilliance." ”

Cao Xun: "What you say is getting more and more outward, okay, it's not an outsider, let's go in." ”

Three men walked ahead.

Yunzhu was sandwiched between Zhao and Liu Jing.

Zhao took Yunzhu's hand and smiled: "You were sisters with Amin before you left the pavilion, but now you have become sisters with me, how can I call you?" ”

Yunzhu also had a headache.

Liu Jing smiled: "Yunzhu, we can call your name directly, you can call our wife and sister." ”

When Yunzhu decided to get along with them alone, she called Cao Xun's side: "Sister Zhao, Sister Liu." ”

Zhao: "This voice is so sweet, it makes us all ten years younger." ”

Yunzhu lowered her eyes and smiled.

At this time, a light breeze blew, and the dress on Liu Jing's body was pressed against her body along the wind, outlining the rounded arc of her abdomen, which was not particularly obvious.

Yunzhu raised his head.

Seeing that she had noticed, Liu Jing looked at her husband in front of her and said softly, "It's been almost five months since the Ximai was diagnosed in April. ”

Yunzhu said sincerely: "Congratulations to my sister." ”

Liu Jing's eyes were full of motherly tenderness.

.

Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight was shining, and the small birthday banquet of the Hou Mansion was placed in a water pavilion in the garden.

Eight silk screens divide the pavilion into two places, and men and women sit separately.

Compared with the soft voices of the three women of Yunzhu, the voices of the men were more pronounced, and Yunzhu would let out such a hearty laugh when he heard Cao Xun for the first time.

At this moment, she suddenly had an illusion that the three men in their thirties on the other side of the screen were sitting with her brother Cao Shao and Xie Lang.

Just halfway through the banquet, Zhang Xingjian suddenly coughed violently.

Liu Jing stood up at a speed that did not match her status as a pregnant woman, walked quickly around the screen, and skillfully smoothed her husband's back.

Zhang Xingjian coughed for a long time, and Yunzhu's heart was shocked, this is not an ordinary bad health.

She looked at Zhao worriedly.

Zhao sighed deeply and didn't say anything more.

After Zhang Xingjian's cough was suppressed, he rejected the proposal of two friends to persuade him to go back to his room to rest immediately, and insisted on continuing to talk about admiring the moon.

Liu Jing returned to her seat.

Yun Zhu didn't know the inside story, so it was not good to speak hastily, so Zhao whispered to Liu Jing: "I'll be uncomfortable later, let's disperse early." ”

Liu Jing shook her head, revealing a complicated smile that made the audience feel sorry for her: "Forget it, maybe there won't be this opportunity next year, just let him go if he's happy." ”

Yun Zhu was shocked, Zhang Xingjian was so sick?

Liu Jing was not depressed for too long, and soon regained her relaxed look, and persuaded the two companions: "Come, let's continue to admire the moon." ”

Yunzhu looked into the air.

The moon on August 13 is beautiful, but after all, there is still a piece missing.

.

The birthday banquet of the Huai'an Hou Mansion lasted for an hour before it ended.

Zhang Xingjian took his wife and sent the two couples to the door.

Gu Qinghe was completely drunk, completely supported by the Zhao family, although Cao Xun drank well, but he let go of what he drank tonight, and he was really drunk.

Zhang Xingjian said to Zhao and Yunzhu: "It's all because I have been pouring them, and I hope that my sister-in-law and younger siblings will not be angry." ”

When a friend drank, he replaced the wine with tea.

Zhao: "Where, you guys go in and rest, we'll also go." ”

Cao Xun could also help Yunzhu get into the car, Yunzhu went up, he turned around, and said to Zhang Xingjian drunkenly: "Next year, next year will come to celebrate your birthday again." ”

Zhang Xingjian responded with a smile: "A word is a certainty." ”

Cao Xun got into the car at this time.

The coachman listened to the masters and sat down and set off.

Because of Zhang Xingjian's illness, Yunzhu was not in the mood to continue to be angry with Cao Xun, and when the carriage drove out of this alley, she asked in a low voice, "Master Hou's body, what is going on?" ”

Cao Xun leaned to the side, his eyes closed, and just when Yun Zhu thought he was too drunk to fall asleep, Cao Xun seemed to react, opened his eyes to look at her, and asked, "Haven't you heard of it?" ”

Yunzhu shook her head.

Cao Xun: "Then forget it. ”

Yunzhu: "But I listen to Sister Liu, Master Hou maybe, maybe he won't be able to wait for the next birthday?" ”

Cao Xun waved his hand: "No, the imperial doctor said that there will be three or four years to recuperate." ”

He was drunk, but it was related to Zhang Xingjian's lifespan, and his words must not be drunken nonsense.

Three or four years is only a little bit better than a year.

Yunzhu's first thought was Liu Jing, and she said uncomfortably: "Sister Liu is pregnant, and when that day comes, she and the child are too pitiful." ”

Cao Xun's eyes that were swaying around because of drunkenness suddenly stopped.

He slowly looked at the little lady next to him: "She is poor with the child? ”

Isn't the most pitiful thing to be simple?

Yun Zhu was immersed in her emotions and said regretfully: "Yes, Sister Liu is still so young, the child ......"

Cao Xun interrupted her coldly: "Is it pitiful to be a young widow? How do you know that she didn't ask for the child herself? ”

His voice was cold, and his face was not good-looking.

Yunzhu only felt inexplicable: "...... Isn't it what, what are you throwing at me? Is it wrong for her to sympathize with a mother and son who are about to lose their loved ones?

Cao Xun pursed his lips and turned his head.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the Dingguo Mansion.

Cao Xun didn't know if he was drunk and reacted slowly, or if he fell asleep, leaning there and not moving.

Yunzhu didn't wait for him, jumped out of the carriage by himself, and walked in without looking back.

Ah Jiu stood outside the car with a lantern, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see his master get out of the car, so he couldn't help but call a few times.

Cao Xun was woken up by him, frowned, and looked to the side, the little lady was no longer there.

Marry a wife, know the cold and know the hot?

Cao Xun laughed to himself.

There is moonlight illumination, but there is not much need for lanterns, Cao Xun walked in front alone, and when he was about to turn around to the back house, he suddenly paused and instructed Ah Jiu: "Prepare water." ”

Washing off the smell of alcohol, Cao Xun slept directly in the front yard, so drunk that he almost got on the bed.

Chapter 34: "As soon as I wake up from the wine, I'll come to you to make amends."

Huai'an Hou Mansion.

Liu Jing wrung out the water on the towel and walked to the side of the bed to help her husband wipe it.

Zhang Xingjian held her hand: "You are heavy, don't work anymore, I'll do it myself." ”

Liu Jing: "It's only been five months, I'm not so squeamish, I've given birth once, isn't it better for you to understand?" ”

Zhang Xingjian couldn't resist his wife, so he had to take off his shirt to cooperate.

Although he hadn't drunk tonight, he was stained with some alcohol, as if he had returned to the time when he could drink freely.
